FAQs
Is the VOLLINT VT1 paddle suitable for intermediate players?
The VT1 is primarily designed for beginners. Intermediate players might find its features best suited for casual play or practice, but may prefer paddles with more advanced materials for competitive play.
How does the fibreglass surface compare to carbon fiber?
Fibreglass offers good durability and a softer feel, which is beneficial for control and comfort. Carbon fiber surfaces typically offer more spin potential and a crisper feel, often preferred by more advanced players.
What is the benefit of the 11mm core thickness?
The 11mm polypropylene core provides a good balance, offering enough thickness to generate decent power while remaining responsive and reducing vibration for a softer feel on impact.
Can I use this paddle for outdoor pickleball?
Yes, the VT1 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor play. Its durable construction is designed to withstand various conditions.
How heavy is the paddle?
The VOLLINT VT1 weighs approximately 210 grams, making it lightweight for enhanced maneuverability and control.
Does the paddle come with a cover?
The VOLLINT VT1 typically does not include a paddle cover. Covers are often sold separately and recommended for protection.
Troubleshooting
Paddle feels slippery
Wipe the grip with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, consider using a grip enhancer or replacing the grip tape.
Reduced power or control
Ensure you are making clean contact with the ball in the paddle's sweet spot. Check the paddle surface for any debris that might affect performance.
Paddle makes an unusual sound on impact
This could indicate a core issue. If the sound is persistent or accompanied by a change in performance, contact customer support.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the paddle surface and grip with a slightly damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the fibreglass surface.
